PUBLIC POOLS
2320 Two Rivers Parkway, Nashville
Nashville’s most fun public pool isn’t really a pool. It’s a mini water park with a wave pool, slides, and a dedicated kids’ area. One of the only wave-action pools in the area. Runs seasonally with paid admission.
222 25th Ave. N., Nashville
A go-to for serious swimmers and casual laps alike. This centrally located complex offers Olympic-size indoor swimming plus seasonal outdoor options. Open year-round, making it one of the most reliable places to swim regardless of weather.
1000 Edgehill Ave., Nashville
One of several Metro Parks outdoor pools that open for summer. A classic neighborhood swim experience with free or low-cost entry, lifeguards, and a laid-back, community feel.
2301 Metro Center Blvd., Nashville
Another Metro-run outdoor pool with easy, accessible swimming and a local crowd. A simple, no-frills option for quick dips or cooling off.
Cleveland Community Center Pool
610 Vernon Winfrey Ave., Nashville
Located in North Nashville, this outdoor pool is part of the city’s seasonal lineup. Family-friendly, budget-friendly, and designed to provide accessible summer recreation across neighborhoods.
WATER PARKS
4001 Bell Road, Hermitage
The region’s largest water attraction, Nashville Shores features wave pools, a lazy river, and multiple slides. The water park opens in May and runs through summer, making it a full-day destination rather than a quick swim.
SoundWaves at Gaylord Opryland
2800 Opryland Drive, Nashville
An upscale indoor-outdoor water experience, SoundWaves blends resort-style pools with slides and lounge areas. Outdoor attractions typically open Memorial Day through Labor Day, though access is usually tied to hotel packages.
HOTEL AND DAY PASS POOLS
White Limozeen Pool at Graduate Nashville
101 20th Ave. N., Nashville
This Dolly-inspired rooftop pool is one of the most Instagrammed in the city. Open to the public via reservation or day pass, it pairs skyline views with a playful, over-the-top vibe and full food and drink service.
33 Peabody St., Nashville
More social club than swim spot, Pinewood Social’s dipping pools are small but popular. Open on select days, they’re best paired with brunch, drinks, and a full afternoon hang rather than a traditional swim.
